Mouse Model of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) and Vascular Abnormalities (G608G) mutated form of human LNMA) for Therapeutic Development

Children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) suffer from acceleration of certain aging symptoms, mainly cardiovascular disease that generally leads to death from myocardial infarction and/or stroke. The cause of HGPS has been discovered to be a de novo point mutation in lamin A (LNMA) gene. NHGRI Scientist have generated a transgenic...

Farnesyltransferase Inhibitors for Treatment of Laminopathies, Cellular Aging and Atherosclerosis

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a very rare progressive childhood disorder characterized by premature aging (progeria). Recently, the gene responsible for HGPS was identified (Eriksson M, et al. Nature 2003), and HGPS joined a group of syndromes — the laminopathies — all of which are caused by various mutations in the lamin A/C gene...
